Taking a vow of silence on Facebook

I'm still reading the darned thing, and sometimes I click on the links. But for now, at least, I'm taking a vow of silence on Facebook. No poking people, no one-click birthday wishes, and no back-and-forth banter punctuated by screen refreshes hoping that there's something else of interest to look at.

I like you all out there in Facebook land, but something has to give, and I'd rather be an old-school blogger that still puts out a post or two a week than an ace Facebook user with little to show for it after years of work except calluses on my fingers.

Ironically you will read this on Facebook, some of you at least, because I haven't yet figured out how or whether to disconnnect the automated Typepad-to-Facebook posting.
